Our Reviews

  • positive review  A Wonderful rescue organization Incase your wondering where to adopt from. I have first hand experience with RHR. Two yrs ago we adopted Petey, a Lil guy who looks like a mix of Chihuahua and dachshund. He was 3 at the time, found on the streets of Arkansas and his front right leg clearly had been broken in the past and never set medically to heal right. He still uses it but holds it up when he runs causing his Lil ears to flop(so cute) as he hops along. We were worried the leg would become increasing painful and need Orthopedic surgery. RHR was prepared to cover the cost of whatever treatment was recommended by the Vets! I was shocked and impressed with the professionalism. We believe , from what we have seen that he experienced a home at some point in the past with domestic abuse 🙁 but after 2 yrs Petey appears happy and secure with me. He still does not trust his human daddy completely and seems to think that violence could come from him at any time (even though it never has) unless he is sitting or laying down at which time Petey will slowly creep to him and get pets and snuggles, the minute his dad goes to get up though Petey turns into a rocket and runs for his life! And it’s been 2 years. ADOPTION: Some may think the adoption fee is too much however if you think about what it takes to keep RHR going , transport of dogs from around the country, Freq adoption events, Vet bills, employee wages and the ability to take responsibility for any special vet needs or surgeries that the pups may need to ensure it doesn’t fall on the new owners. Wow. This is the longest review ever but I am so grateful for RHR and all organizations like them for helping all of the dogs in need, having a fur baby is amazing they give us unconditional love only asking for the same, and the therapy/stress release gained from just sitting with your furbabies and petting them is priceless. PLEASE ADOPT ( as long as your prepared for the responsibility) and treat them like your furry babies. ??#lovedogs

  • Rhode Home Rescue was thorough and timely. They understand what it is like to be on the adoption end of the process, while still keeping the dog's best interest at heart. Every volunteer who worked with us, gave the impression that they wanted to get these dogs adopted out. I would highly recommend this rescue.

  • I don't think there are enough words to describe my experience with RHR but, here a few, amazing, phenomenal and understanding. We adopted two puppies this weekend. Duke who is full of energy and spunk and Kira who is a ball of mush and love. Hillary, Dukes foster mom was also amazing. She and RHR answered all of our questions and responded to emails promptly. I would highly recommend adopting or fostering your puppy through RHR.

  • THANK YOU FOR MY MARLEY GIRL � My family & I adopted a 1 yr old female lab ~ Marley Mae (AKA- Brownie Marie) in Dec. She’s so sweet, loving, chilled out and such a perfect addition to our family, we’re all madly in love with her, as are all of our friends/family who’ve met her. My adoption experience with: “Rhode Home Rescue” was perfect. I give them an easy 5 Stars but they deserve more �� �����’s. They are honest, kind hearted, dedicated, caring, hardworking, professional and such selfless people. They truly care & make sure the pets go to the best/safest homes, thus setting them up for a lifelong SUCCESSFUL life (vs failure) with a great family reducing the odds of them being bounced around more than they already have in their tough lives (poor babies) � I was so pleased with the whole process, they did exactly what I expected to assure my girl was put into the best of hands. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU � � � Also, I’m pretty sure they all volunteer their time & homes fostering multiple dogs, they pick up truck loads of dogs at all hours – which is really amazing & shows their true love & compassion for these beautiful creatures created by God. ������ I will “ONLY” use Rhode Home Rescue when the time comes to adopt our next family member. I’d love another now, but 2 is enough for the time being ����.) Thanks again to: “THE ENTIRE TEAM.” You are so dedicated & do your absolute best to do right by these beautiful animals. If you are reading this and have any doubts on adopting or fostering ~ PLEASE re-read this review �- they really and truly are the best Rescue I’ve ever dealt with. I signed up & look forward to volunteering my time to help with this selfless act they do which saves so many lives of beautiful dogs who deserve “life” and to live an extremely happy one. � I will try to add some pics of my beautiful girl on the site. ����

  • positive review  My family adopted from Rhode Home Rescue, and our experience was absolutely wonderful! Throughout the entire application process, the volunteers at the rescue could not have been more helpful. Upon our awaited meeting day, the volunteers as well as the foster family were so extremely kind with the whole process. My family would absolutely recommend this rescue to anyone looking to add a furry addition to their home! Pictured is our first dog, a 5 year old male black lab named Simba. Our newest addition (5 months when we got her, now 8 months old), a female boxer terrier mix named Nala.
